The group coverage is just slightly better than jumping ship. I have very few choices in southeast Idaho. It would be a a "no brainer" if I was still in the San Diego area. My limited choice just happens to be the one whacked by adding "domestic partners".
What a shame, and a cruel imposition. So many people, who've said that "gay marriage" (or "domestic partnership", as in your case) wouldn't effect them, didn't think of their pocket book when they pay their insurance premiums.
Are they going to be in a rude awakening soon, as if our health insurance premiums weren't already obnoxious enough.
Good luck to you.
